Detailed Description

India is the world’s first mobile-only country. The reach of mobile devices in the Indian market provides a huge opportunity in the entertainment and service sectors. The technology allows the users to perform a variety of tasks apart from being connected. In this project, we bring social circles together through multiplayer games with mobile platform as our launch pad. We describe two game worlds. One with a fantasy race theme, where players can choose and progress characters from a variety of classes and a First Person Shooter. The progression mechanic allows the players to use their own imagination and narrative to empathize with the game world and its characters. The game world was detailed to provide a wide range of gameplay experiences both offline and online. Finally, critical game parameters were listed and a framework was set up to analyse the behaviour of players which will help in maintaining retention, fixing design flaws, live operations, and publishing new updates. Games are known for their memorable moments and a multiplayer platform assures such events
